Huh. ingeeisgod was just posting actively on this site only minutes ago and now he's a deleted member?....what's up. Happyfan....did you ban him or did he self implode? No, I didn't do anything. Weird. Someone suggested he change his name from ingeeisgod and maybe he took it seriously? Or maybe he was secretly Larry the Looper and didn't want to hang around anymore? I think it was the latter...lol. I'm sure Larry reads this forum. His site is good for golf articles that we are too lazy to search out.

2) I hate that Dumbo is being friendly.....GOAT #2 only cared about himself to become world #1 and turn the golf world upside down. The saying...."It's lonely at the TOP" is true....if Dumbo wants a friend...get a dog....nuff said. IMO.....Dumbo is too sweet and lacks arrogance to be the #1 female golfer....but Dumbo is sweet as heck...so we all LUV her. Maybe she's taking a cue from Lydia. She's a fast learner.

Ben Hogan didn't say Kathy W. had the best swing of all time. Yeah 3Putt is wright, it was Mickey Wright. Jackie Burke Jr. says the same thing. Harvey P too iirc. I love watching clips of Mickey. I've played Jackie's course in Houston a few times and got to meet him once. Character. Grabs your arm and then just keeps talking. My only claim to golf fame I think.

Neat story, I'd like to meet Jackie Burke Jr. and play Champions. I think I was going to take a lesson from him once when I was working in Houston but it might have been too expensive, I no longer remember. I used to try and take lessons from major champions but so far the following major winners have failed to help me: Jerry Barber, Sandra Palmer, Tom Lehman, Jack Fleck and Little Poison. I also took lessons from Jimmy's brother- Claude Demaret, but I guess that doesn't count.

I also took lessons from Jimmy's brother- Claude Demaret, but I guess that doesn't count. That's a pretty neat idea. Nobody in my 4-ball ever says anything about their swing. I like to hear what people's current swing thoughts are. I heard Rocco M say recently a good swing thought might last a couple years....or a couple seconds! I used to read or listen to the little red book every spring. I love the old timey tips like 'go hit a tire, you'll know if the club is square.' I'm teaching this lady couple to play right now. I may have mentioned this already but if not, apparently they went to the course together to play their first round. One went in to pay and when she came out the other lady was putting on the green with a pitching wedge. She figured it was the putter because it said "P" on the bottom. True story. I must have mentioned it already, I've told everybody, I mean that's unbelievable. She was using my wife's clubs and I agree her putter wouldn't necessarily look like a putter to a newbie. I've played a fair number of courses in Houston. There are not enough good public courses down there. Go figure.

Actually, putting (bellying) with a wedge is good practice. It helps to square up the face, and put a good stroke on the ball.

In my lessons with them I try my mister miyagi wax-on wax-off old timey tip routine with them but they don't take me serious. I should tape it, indignant students calling bullshit on hair-brained golf tips is probably better than Golf Academy. I'm rolling out a tractor tire and they won't get off their lawn chairs. Writes itself.
